[syslog-ng] Syslog-ng-2.05 Segmentation Fault

[Evan Rempel]

These options are documented in the "./configure --help" which is
the script provided with the source tree for compilation, but
since you are already reading this...

--enable-static-linking makes the compiled binary independent from
anything else on the system. The intent is to provide an application that will
not get "broken" when shared libraries are updated sometime in the future.
There are a couple of caveates about this, but I'm not going to get into that here.

--enable-tcp-wrapper=no makes the resulting syslog-ng NOT check the /etc/hosts.allow and
/etc/hosts.deny files for remote connection authorization.
